Chong Yue was helpless by someone and wanted to ask, but when he saw the serious and focused look on that kid's face, he felt a little embarrassed to disturb him.
Come on, I'll wait a little longer to see what this guy is up to.
Chong Yue made up his mind, threw the jade plate away, and drew a few more silent notes.
Chen Weidong calmed down and went through the entire failed process in his mind, from the first step to the last step, refusing to let go of any step.
The reason for the failure was quickly found out.
Hematite is a metal, and it is yang and hot in nature. Even if it is ground into powder, it cannot be combined with medicinal herbs casually.
Not to mention, the root of mountain dandelion is a cold medicinal herb. When it suddenly encounters such a powerful stranger, the reaction will be very violent. It would be strange if it doesn't explode the furnace.
Chen Weidong found the cause and immediately started to solve the problem.
First, he opened the system mall and bought 10 copies of the high-grade neutralizer. This thing was quite expensive. One copy cost 11 silver coins. The cost of 10 copies was more than one gold.
But Chen Weidong doesn't care about money now. Compared with high-level tasks, this little money is nothing. He can make it back in minutes. If the task is gone, it will be gone.
With Chen Weidong's efforts, the hematite powder was first diluted with water and then neutralized with a neutralizing agent. Finally, it was not as violent as before.
Someone carefully poured the neutralized liquid medicine into the cold iron furnace, slowly added the mountain dandelion roots, and at the same time moved the fire cloud hand to control the temperature in the furnace.
According to the recipe, during the process of adding mountain dandelion roots, the temperature must be continuously raised to avoid the loss of the positive side of hematosperm, but the temperature rise rate cannot be too fast. The timing must be grasped carefully, otherwise the medicinal properties of the mountain dandelion roots will be lost.
It will be destroyed by excessive high temperature.
This is really a meticulous job, which requires a high level of character from the alchemist and also requires a certain amount of hand speed.
Chen Weidong did not dare to neglect, he held his breath and concentrated on the operation carefully, and his movements were meticulous.
In his field of vision, various timepieces, progress bars and the like were already running. It was dizzying to see them all.
Chen Weidong felt okay. Firstly, he had gotten used to it after seeing it too much. Secondly, these data were really important. Without their real-time prompts, he would not be able to do this job at all.
You must know that alchemy is a profound skill that requires a long period of immersion and practice before you can achieve success.
Why did Chen Weidong become a senior alchemist in such a short period of time? The answer is simple. He has high technology.
Others make alchemy based on experience. How did these experiences come about? One relies on the teaching of his master, and the other relies on his own exploration.
The former one is fine, as it can save people a lot of detours, but the latter one is miserable, as it requires accumulating the number of failures without a lot of practice. How can one gain experience and experience?
What's more, even if it's the former type, all the master can teach is theoretical knowledge. For specific operations, you still have to practice it yourself before you can feel it in your hands and heart.
But Chen Weidong is different. He doesn't need in-depth experience or strong mental arithmetic skills. Systematic everything is enough.
When should the medicinal materials be added and when should they be refined? The formula is clearly written.
When it is time to heat up and when it is time to cool down, the timer clearly shows it.
As for the grasp of various time nodes, the reaction time after adding medicinal materials, etc., there will be a special progress bar to remind you. How can making alchemy like this not be sharp?~
Chen Weidong followed the steps written on the formula step by step in an orderly manner. Soon, the total alchemy process reached 91%.
Soon, it will be successful.
Looking at the progressively darker color of the progress bar, Chen Weidong was secretly happy. While operating, he began to count down in his mind.
10,9,8,7,6,5……
Halfway through the count, the fellow suddenly discovered that the liquid medicine in the cold iron furnace began to rotate for some reason, and the two pills floating on it gradually changed their shape, from a round shape to an irregular polyhedron, which looked like
Very embarrassing.
not good!
Chen Weidong couldn't help but scream inwardly. When he glanced at it just now, he vaguely saw that the color of the temperature bar turned a little red. Could it be that... the temperature was too high?
This is really careless, and according to the recipe, the temperature range is not high. How could such a situation happen?
No matter what he thought, something unexpected had happened. Although the furnace didn't explode this time, the two pills turned into this ghostly appearance. It was obvious that they were unsuccessful. Let alone improve their skills after taking them.
Poisoning people to death is considered good.
Chen Weidong looked at the time and saw that there were less than eight minutes left before the half-hour deadline. Even if he started over and tried it again, it wouldn't be enough.
What to do? What to do!?
Chen Weidong knocked his head in frustration. You really can't blame him for being careless. He followed the recipe exactly, just like a robot, and completed all the requirements meticulously. The details were perfect and there were no mistakes.
But things still go wrong like this. If you want to find the reason, you must look at the formula.
Chen Weidong took a deep breath and forced himself to forget about what happened for eight minutes. Then he quickly pulled out the formula and looked at it carefully.
In less than ten seconds, this guy found the answer: It turned out that it was because hematite was added with a neutralizing agent that the temperature requirements changed at the last moment.
However, this is not mentioned in the recipe. It seems that this must be a trap deliberately set by the system.
Chen Weidong sneered, closed the formula interface, rubbed his temples, and began to close his eyes and think about the whole process.
His memory has always been outstanding, and the entire alchemy process just now played back in his mind like a movie, and every tiny detail was not missed.
"Ding!~"
[Tips]: Your passive skill "Versatility" is taking effect... Please wait...
With the appearance of this reminder, Chen Weidong suddenly felt a "thinking acceleration" in his heart. Everything he had just done became clearer, including what he should do in the future, and he had a clear impression in his mind.
.
Suddenly, this thing started moving, cleaning up the stove, igniting the fire, adding chemicals, controlling the temperature... all the steps were done in one go, without any hesitation, and it looked like flowing water, which was very pleasing to the eye.
"Eh..." Chong Yue couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw it.
Although he doesn't know much about alchemy, someone's movements just now were really beautiful and artistic. Even he, an inexperienced person, felt some inexplicable beauty after seeing it. (To be continued...
